Abstract:Pilot studies were undertaken to examine the feasibility of preparing freeze-dried whole blood samples containing drugs of interest to be used as assay controls. The availability of such samples will enable analysts and laboratory managers to monitor analytical performance. A pilot batch of freeze-dried blood containing five compounds of forensic significance and a blank blood sample were prepared for reconstitution to 2.5-mL aliquots. Samples of each of these preparations were distributed to 55 laboratories in the USA and UK for analysis. A summary of the results is presented along with comments on the feasibility of producing freeze-dried whole blood samples for use in forensic toxicology. © 1990 Oxford University Press.
